No. Stopped after 3rd month. Transplanted hair can grow naturally

Interesting, my friends doc still has him on Dutasteride and Minox even after 3 years now of his transplant.

Dutasteride is more potent than finasteride
If you wish to have longer, more dense, thicker hair then can take them. But I'm very satisfied with my current result dy

Do both types cause long term kidney damage ?

So far based on what I managed to research, no

So far for minoxidil and finasteride, no significant impact observed for my renal function too; unable to comment for Dutasteride

Not a doctor but I always believe any medication has side effects

You just reminded me of a colleague who decided to retire early because his work is affected - he needs to take frequent dialysis every week. But not because of taking these drugs la. More towards his unhealthy lifestyle

Hi, can you share me the clinic details and surgeon name?

finasteride not for the transplanted hair.. that no need

u need finasteride to prevent ur natural hair from falling

else u ended up loose all hair except for the transplanted hair

So your non-transplanted hairs have not fallen out?

Still there la. Got fall off but it's quite normal rate. Nothing alarming

I think the reason why why he's doc kept him on it is to prevent the non transplanted hair from falling victim to DHT.
He did have to do a "top up" session 1 year after the initial transplant.

I know its off topic but in case anyone wants to consider it. I recently also added Dutasteride into my regiment. 3 days DUT and 3 days FIN, 1 day rest.

Turkey was my top choice too at first, but I ended up getting mine done in KL for similar reasons—cost was nearly the same, and I felt more comfortable going local after doing my research. Surgeon skill really is everything with FUE.

For anyone still deciding, it’s worth checking out https://goodlife-clinic.com/, they cover hair transplants plus other aesthetic treatments. I did my initial consultations at a few places, and having options really helps before committing. Looking forward to seeing your final results in a few months!
